Need to add accessories to your Panelboard?

An important feature of AS/NZS 61439 is that any alterations or additions to an already verified solution must either be within the scope of the design, or the altered design must be re-verified by the person completing the work.

NHP has made staying within the design scope of the already verified distribution boards easy with a range of accessories such as NHP MCBs and RCBOs, RCD testing kits, emergency testing kits and more. Full details are outlined here.
